Stabilization Grants: The Latest Updates | 4C for Children Skip to primary navigation Funding from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) supports the recovery and stabilization of child care providers across the nation. In Ohio, this money is now available to child care programs in the form of Stabilization Grants.
Since these funds are being distributed through grants that means the money does not need to be paid back if it is used according to the guidelines. All ODJFS licensed programs meeting the Phase 3 qualifications are eligible to receive these funds. A child care program doesn’t need to be SUTQ-rated or provide care for families using publicly funded child care to apply for these Stabilization Grants.
Payment timelines are still estimated to be 4-6 weeks from the application approval date. If you must repay any Phase 1 and/or Phase 2 funding, Phase 3 payment will be delayed. Here are two ways to check to see if you are in a repayment status (click on image to enlarge): Go to your Applications Tab of the Organization Dashboard Or check the Payments Tab of the Organization Dashboard.
It is important to note that the repayment message will remain in the chart but you will see a green ‘Yes’ to know OCCRRA received the funds. Repayments are due 30 days from the reconciliation approval date. Checks may be made payable to OCCRRA at 2469 Stelzer Road, Columbus, Ohio 43219.
Be sure to write your license number and the phase number you are repaying on the check. Reconciliations requiring repayment may be edited to include additional allowable expenses from the expense period to reduce or potentially eliminate the repayment. If the reconciliation status is other than additional info, the program should send an email to support@occrra.
